CHARITY COOKBOOK
For the past four years we have put together a charity cookbook for fans. All proceeds go to Kids Kicking Cancer. Recipe submissions were down last year, but we are willing to put together a 2009 version if there is enough interest. Vote below and if you have suggestions about themes for this years edition, send us an email at fans @ gerardbutler.net.

The official website for the 2009 official Gerard Butler Dot Net Charity Conventions is now open! Visit often for news, calls for volunteers and to donate items to any of the events for their raffles/auctions. Our convention volunteers will make sure to post all the latest for you on the site!

Attendees may now register for the Glasgow and Tokyo events!

To register for Glasgow, visit Eventbrite. The password is “scotland”. Registration is limited to 140 tickets. For more details on the Glasgow event, click here.

To register for Tokyo, visit GerardButler.jp for all the details and the registration form.

The U.S. cities, because they are smaller events, will not open registration until 2009. You may however sign up at the official website to be added to the email list for your city of choice or the virtual convention.

The cities have been submitted and the 2009 Convention poll is now open! You may vote in the sidebar or on the poll page.

Please keep in mind when voting that the top five US cities will be chosen to hold simultaneous events to coincide with the our Glasgow event the weekend of October 24-25, 2009. Please DO NOT vote for a city if you are planning to attend the Glasgow event. We want the event planners to have a good idea of the number of attendees they should include in their planning if their city is one of the top five.

If more than 5 cities receive over 100 votes, we will consider upping the total number of cities. PLEASE DO NOT VOTE IF YOU DON’T REASONABLY BELIEVE YOU CAN ATTEND THE EVENT IN THAT CITY.

Also, if you are planning to attend the event in Tokyo, please vote so those organizers can also use the number to assist in their planning.

Thanks to everyone who volunteered to be a part of this special event!! Voting ends on August 21.
